A New Desert Life Lyrics

A New Desert Life lyrics

This is where the water becomes shallow.

And nothing here is quite as deep

as you hoped it would be.



You wish the lines were drawn a little clearer.

The tides have turned

this drought will burn

and everything is falling out of place.



And drying in the sun

shriveling and shrinking

the hides are turning brown

wrinkling and stinging.



as you bury yourself



deep in the dust

of the sandiest grave you can find

it's a new desert life.



to be reborn again

out of glass and of sand

and you're shimmering and you are clear.



this is where

the water is shallow and nothing is as deep

as you hoped it would be.



and this drought will burn

and everything's falling

out of place.



and you're glimmering and you are clear.
